With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 is configured to retrieve data relating to a user agenda list 124. An “agenda list,” as used in this disclosure, is a compilation of one or more agenda actions 128 that need to be completed. An “agenda action,” as used in this disclosure, is any task that needs to be completed, related to a user's personal and/or professional life. For instance and without limitation, an agenda list may contain an agenda action 128 such as to purchase a blow up air mattress. In yet another non-limiting example, an agenda list may contain a task such as to order coffee for a work meeting in the morning. An agenda list may be stored within user database 132. User database 132 may be implemented without limitation, as a relational database, a key-value retrieval datastore such as a NOSQL database, or any other format or structure for use as a datastore that a person skilled in the art would recognize as suitable upon review of the entirety of this disclosure.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 is configured to retrieve a previous message entered by a user. Information relating previous messages entered by a user 116, may be stored within user database. Computing device 104 may generate a query to locate a message that was received during a certain period of time, and/or a message that relates to a specific topic or subject. A “query,” as used in this disclosure, is any request generated to retrieve and/or locate information from a database. A query may include choosing parameters to generate a query from a menu of options. In such an instance, a list of parameters may be assembled, from which one or more parameters may be chosen to generate a query. A query may include a query by example, where computing device 104 presents a blank records, and allows a user to specify the fields and values that define the query. A query may include query language, where a request to locate information may be a stylized query written in query language. Computing device 104 may prioritize a plurality of action agendas contained within the user agenda list as a function of retrieving a previous message. Prioritizing action agendas may include determining and/or arranging agenda actions that need to be completed in order of priority and/or importance. Information contained within a previous message may specify the order and/or importance of agenda actions. For instance and without limitation, computing device 104 may retrieve a previous message entered by a user that specifies that the user likes to batch cook home cooked meals every weekend and prefers to have groceries delivered in time before the weekend, either on Thursday or Friday. In such an instance, computing device 104 may prioritize an agenda action contained within a user agenda list to go grocery shopping and prioritize grocery shopping above weeding the user's garden on a Friday afternoon.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 is configured to analyze a user message 120, to identify an agenda action relating to the user message 120. Computing device 104 analyzes a user message 120, utilizing linguistic analyzer 136. A “linguistic analyzer,” as used in this disclosure, is any language processing analysis [module?] that enables computing device 104 to acquire meaning from messages. Linguistic analyzer 136 may be utilized to identify a structure, phrases, words, and/or other content or characteristics of a message entered by a user. Linguistic analyzer 136 may be utilized to determine the content and/or subject of a user message. Linguistic analyzer 136 may use an identified content to generate a response to a user message, including a response intended to direct a flow of conversation.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , linguistic analyzer 136 analyzes a user message utilizing statistical inferences to learn rules through the analysis of large corpora of documents. Linguistic analyzer 136 may generate one or more machine-learning algorithms that utilize features generated from input data. Machine-learning algorithms may include generating a decision tree. A decision tree includes generating a structure in which each internal node represents a “test” on an attribute, each branch represents the outcome of the test, and each leaf node represents a class label. A path from a root to a leaf may represent classification rules. Linguistic analyzer 136 may generate one or more statistical models, which may be utilized to make probabilistic decisions based on attaching real-valued weights to each input feature.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , linguistic analyzer 136 may analyze a user message 120 utilizing syntax analysis, such as through morphological segmentation. For example, linguistic analyzer 136 may separate words into individual morphemes and identify the class of the morphemes. Linguistic analyzer 136 may analyze a user message 120 by parsing a user message. Parsing may include determining a parsing tree and/or grammatical analysis of a given sentence. Parsing may include dependency parsing where relationships between words in a sentence are analyzed. Parsing may include constituency parsing that focuses on building out a parsing tree using a probabilistic context free grammar, including for example stochastic grammar. Linguistic analyzer 36 may analyze a user message utilizing other forms of syntax analysis, including sentencing breaking, to find sentence boundaries; word segmentation to separate a chunk of continuous text into separate words; lemmatization, and/or grammar induction.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , linguistic analyzer 136 may analyze a user message 120 utilizing semantic analysis such as by analyzing lexical semantics to determine the computational meaning of individual words in context. Semantic analysis may include distributional semantics, to analyze how semantic representations are separate from data. Semantic analysis may include named entity recognition, to determine which items in a string of text map to names of people, places, organization, and the like. Semantic analysis may include natural language understanding, including converting chunks of text into more formal representations such as first-order logic structures. Natural language understanding may include the identification of intended semantics from multiple possible semantics that can be derived from a natural language expression. Semantic analysis may include optical character analysis, including determining corresponding text to an image representing printed text. Semantic analysis may include other forms of analysis including optical character recognition, question answering, recognizing textual entailment, relationship extraction, sentiment analysis, topic segmentation and recognition, and/or word sense disambiguation.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , linguistic analyzer 136 may perform discourse analysis to analyze a user message. Discourse analysis includes automatic summarization may include producing a readable summary of a chunk of text. Discourse analysis may include coreference resolution, which may determine from a given sentence or chunk of text, which words refer to the same objects. Linguistic analyzer 136 may analyze a user message by performing other various forms of analysis, including for example, speech recognition, speech segmentation, text-to-speech analysis, dialogue analysis, and/or cognition analysis.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 identifies using linguistic analyzer 136, a description of an agenda action contained within a user message. For example, a user message may contain an entry such as “cancel all meetings on Thursday June 26^(th).” Linguistic analyzer 136 identifies a description of an agenda action that includes “meetings on June 26^(th).” Computing device 104 generates a query containing a description of an agenda action. A query includes any of the queries as described above. Computing device 104 utilizes a query to locate an agenda action 128 contained within user agenda list 124, which may be stored within user database 132.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 is configured to analyze a user message 120 and identify a need for a user to provide more information. This may occur, for example, when computing device 104 is unable to identify a description of an agenda action 128 contained within a user message 120, and/or when there may be various agenda actions 128 related to a user message 120. Computing device 104 may identify a need for a user to provide more information, when information contained within a user message 120 may be lacking and require more information. For instance and without limitation, a user message 120 that contains an entry such as “order coffee,” may prompt computing device 104 to identify a need for a user to provide more information, including what size coffee the user wishes to order, when the user wants the coffee order, what flavor and/or style of coffee the user is looking for, and where the user wants to order coffee from. Computing device 104 selections a conversation profile as a function of analyzing a user message 120. A “conversation profile,” as used in this disclosure, is a compilation of one or more messages organized by style of communication. A style of communication, may include one or more behaviors, or ways in which a user communicates. For example, a style of communication may include a direct style of communication, which includes explicit messages that clearly express a user's intentions. In yet another non-limiting example, a style of communication may include an affectionate communication style that includes emotional and sensitive messages that may contain implicit meanings contained within messages. In yet another non-limiting example, a style of communication may include an indirect style of communication, that may contain messages that mask a user's intentions and needs. Computing device 104 analyzes a user message 120 to determine a user's style of communication and select a conversation profile. For instance and without limitation, a user message 120 that contains elaborate figurative language, with lots of metaphors and provers may be determined to be an elaborate style of communication, while a user message 120 that contains lots of emojis, photographs, and heart shaped emojis may be determined to be an affectionate style of communication.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , a style of conversation profile contains a plurality of conversations. A “conversation,” as used in this disclosure, is a communication session comprised of a series of one or more messages exchanged between two or more parties. A plurality of conversations contained within a conversation profile, may be organized by subject and/or topic. For example, a conversation profile such as a formal conversation profile, may contain a plurality of conversations organized by topic, including for example, friends, family, cooking, food delivery, shopping, appointments, schoolwork, and the like. Computing device 104 initiates a conversation within virtual message user interface as a function of selecting a conversation profile. In an embodiment, a conversation profile may seek to obtain more information from an analyzed message. For instance and without limitation, a user message 120 may contain a remark containing a user's sleep patterns including descriptions of how long the user slept each night for the past seven nights. In such an instance, computing device 104 may analyze the user message 120 containing the user's sleep patterns and determine that more information is needed to analyze the user's sleep patterns over the past month, and not just over the prior week. Computing device 104 selects a conversation profile and initiates a conversation within virtual message user interface 108 to obtain more sleep pattern data.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 is configured to generate a response 140 to a user message 120 as a function of analyzing a user message 120. A “response,” as used in this disclosure, is a reply to a user message. A response 140 may contain a remark and/or replay to a user message 120. For instance and without limitation, a user message 120 that contains a remark 144 to schedule a user a haircut may cause computing device 104 to generate a response 140 that contains a question to ask the user if the user needs to get the user's hair colored or if the user is only looking for a haircut. In yet another non-limiting example, a response 140 may contain a non-textual response, such as a photograph of a scheduled and confirmed appointment for the user's haircut. In yet another non-limiting example, a response 140 may contain a graphical and/or multimedia response, including for example, a response 140 containing an emoji, a photograph, a screenshot, a video, an infographic, music, an illustration, a piece of art, a graphics interchange format, and the like.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 is configured to generate a response 140 to a user message 120 by generating a user-action learner 144. User-action learner 144 may generate one or more modules that learn input-output pairs pertaining to previous messages and responses pertaining to previous communications with a particular user. User-action learner 144 may include any elements suitable for use in a machine-learning process. User-action learner 144 may generate a user-action model, relating a user message 108 and a previous user message to a response. User-action learner 144 may be trained by computing device 104, utilizing user training data. “Training data,” as used herein, is data containing correlations that a machine-learning process may use to model relationships between two or more categories of data elements. For instance, and without limitation, training data may include a plurality of data entries, each entry representing a set of data elements that were recorded, received, and/or generated together; data elements may be correlated by shared existence in a given data entry, by proximity in a given data entry, or the like. Multiple data entries in training data may evince one or more trends in correlations between categories of data elements; for instance, and without limitation, a higher value of a first data element belonging to a first category of data element may tend to correlate to a higher value of a second data element belonging to a second category of data element, indicating a possible proportional or other mathematical relationship linking values belonging to the two categories. Multiple categories of data elements may be related in training data according to various correlations; correlations may indicate causative and/or predictive links between categories of data elements, which may be modeled as relationships such as mathematical relationships by machine-learning processes as described in further detail below. Training data may be formatted and/or organized by categories of data elements, for instance by associating data elements with one or more descriptors corresponding to categories of data elements. As a non-limiting example, training data may include data entered in standardized forms by persons or processes, such that entry of a given data element in a given field in a form may be mapped to one or more descriptors of categories. Elements in training data may be linked to descriptors of categories by tags, tokens, or other data elements; for instance, and without limitation, training data may be provided in fixed-length formats, formats linking positions of data to categories such as comma-separated value (CSV) formats and/or self-describing formats such as extensible markup language (XML), enabling processes or devices to detect categories of data.

Alternatively or additionally, and continuing to refer to FIG. 1 , training data may include one or more elements that are not categorized; that is, training data may not be formatted or contain descriptors for some elements of data. Machine-learning algorithms and/or other processes may sort training data according to one or more categorizations using, for instance, natural language processing algorithms, tokenization, detection of correlated values in raw data and the like; categories may be generated using correlation and/or other processing algorithms. As a non-limiting example, in a corpus of text, phrases making up a number “n” of compound words, such as nouns modified by other nouns, may be identified according to a statistically significant prevalence of n-grams containing such words in a particular order; such an n-gram may be categorized as an element of language such as a “word” to be tracked similarly to single words, generating a new category as a result of statistical analysis. Similarly, in a data entry including some textual data, a person's name may be identified by reference to a list, dictionary, or other compendium of terms, permitting ad-hoc categorization by machine-learning algorithms, and/or automated association of data in the data entry with descriptors or into a given format. The ability to categorize data entries automatedly may enable the same training data to be made applicable for two or more distinct machine-learning algorithms as described in further detail below. Training data used by computing device 104 and/or another device may correlate any input data as described in this disclosure to any output data as described in this disclosure. “User training data,” as used in this disclosure, includes a plurality of data entries containing previous messages correlated to previous responses. Information pertaining to user training data may be stored within user database 132.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , user-action learner may be implemented as any machine-learning process. A “machine learning process,” as used in this disclosure, is a process that automatically uses a body of data known as “training data” and/or a “training set” to generate an algorithm that will be performed by computing device 104 and/or any module to produce outputs given data provided as inputs; this is in contrast to a non-machine learning software program where the commands to be executed are determined in advance by a user and written in a programming language. A machine-learning process may be implemented, without limitation, as described in U.S. Nonprovisional application Ser. No. 16/502,835, filed on Jul. 3, 2019, and entitled “METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ACHIEVING VIBRANT CONSTITUTION BASED ON USER INPUTS,” the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , user-action learner may be generated using a generative machine-learning process. A generative machine learning process is a process of determining the conditional probability of the observable X, given a target y, where, P(X|Y=y). A generative machine learning process may be used to generate random instances or outcomes either of an observation and target (x,y), or of an observation x given a target value y. A generative machine-learning process may include generating one or more generative machine-learning models. A generative machine-learning model may include generating a deep generative model that may combine a generative machine-learning model with a deep neural network. A generative machine-learning model may include one or more machine-learning models including but not limited to a gaussian mixture model, a hidden markov model, a mixture model, a probabilistic context-free grammar model, a Bayesian network, a Naïve Bayes model, an autoregressive model, an averaged one-dependence estimator model, a latent Dirichlet allocation model, a Boltzmann machine, a restricted Boltzmann machine, a deep belief network, a variational autoencoder, a generative adversarial network, a flow-based generative model, an energy based model and the like.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 identifies a response 140 as a function of user-action learner 144 and displays the response 140 within virtual message user interface 108. Computing device 104 displays response 140 utilizing any methodology as described herein.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 generates a response 140 by generating determining the context of a user message 120. Computing device 104 generates a context classifier. A “classifier,” as used in this disclosure, is a process whereby computing device 104 derives from training data, a model known as a “classifier,” for sorting inputs into categories or bins of data. A “context classifier,” as used in this disclosure, is a classifier that uses a user message as an input and outputs a message context label. A “message context label,” as used in this disclosure, is the identification of any purpose and/or circumstance that from the reason for a user entering a user message 120 within virtual message user interface 108. For example, a message context label may identify the setting for a user message 120, such as an upcoming event that a user needs to purchase an outfit for. In yet another non-limiting example, a message context label may identify an idea that a user has, such as to book a travel vacation. Context classifier may be generated using one or more classification algorithms. A classification algorithm may include a binary classifier, that results in only two distinct classes or with two possible outcomes. A classification algorithm may include a multi-class classifier, that results in more than two distinct classes. A classification algorithm may include for example, a naïve-Bayes classifier, a support vector machine, a k-nearest neighbor algorithm, a decision tree, a random forest, logistic regression, stochastic gradient descent, and the like. Computing device 104 identifies as a function of generating context classifier, a message context label for a user message.
